The NFL remains optimistic about its upcoming season through the coronavirus pandemic.

NFL general counsel Jeff Pash told reporters Tuesday on a conference call that the league still is planning on playing a full 16-game season in 2020.

“Our planning, our expectation, is fully directed at playing a full season starting on schedule and having a full regular season and a full set of playoffs,” Pash said, according to NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero. “Am I certain? I’m not certain that I’ll be here tomorrow. But I’m planning on it.”

The NFL schedule will be announced a little later than usual this offseason, however.
